Description
This was created from a photograph of the Grand-case pier in St. Maarten, it is rarely used as a pier and in fact the end of the pier has collapsed; but with the beautiful colour water it still creates an interesting capture.
Created for a specific project but added to my gallery as it is a very serene image that would grace any wall.

Hi Pennie; I know I have commented on this beauty back in 2017. Well, an update.... since then, I made a trip to St. Maarten, and I had to seek this pier (it took forever to find)!!! And when I did find it, I actually crawled underneath the pier and into the water, camera, tripod and all, (yes I got soaking wet.... LOL) and spent about 1/2 hour trying to get the perfect shot. So... I want to say - thank you for the inspiration; I never forgot your wonderful shot and the main reason I went there.

WOW Hany that is so awesome! I cannot wait to see that shot, I bet it is amazing. I hope you had a lovely trip too, so nice to be able to get back into life again. Thank you also for your very kind words, I guess now you can really see the 'artistic license' I used when creating this image. I actually created it for one of the cards in my Oracle Deck.

I'll have to say - this is a VERY interesting and inviting image with the way it was composed and processed. Fantastic to say the least Pennie. Love the depth of this image; the repeating lines and patterns; the colours both in the water and the pier; the textures in the concrete; love it all. Gives the viewer a wonderful inviting illusion of an endless aquatic tunnel. LOVE it.

Thank you so very much Hany, you are so very kind and generous with you comments :)
